tipsy 0.1.4 released
STOP PRESS: yes I'm a twit and released buggy code. Fix is in 0.1.5.
Oh well, one project release in a year isn't too bad. I've pushed a new version of tipsy which officially unleashes some changes that have been kicking about for months:
- Tooltip text is now recomputed on every hover event - tooltip can be modified simply by setting
titleattribute - Gravity can be set dynamically via callback function
- Tooltip text can be sourced from arbitrary attribute/callback function
- Fallback text can be provided for any element lacking tooltip text
- Element's original value for title attribute is stashed in original-title attribute
- CSS rounded corners for Webkit/Mozilla
- All arrow images contained in a single image sprite
That's tipsy "done" now. I've toyed with the idea of adding some other features but feedback indicates that people like tipsy because it's simple and free of bloat so I'll try to keep it that way.
Standard linkage: project page | github | direct download from plugins.jquery.com
Normal service resumed.
Site is redesigned, redeveloped and free from the shackles of Wordpress.
I’ve released the code powering the blog element of the site on Github. “static-ish” is a curious PHP library for taking a nested directory structure of loosely marked-up text files and converting them into formatted HTML. Read more about static-ish here.
Long overdue updates to boxy & tipsy are coming “soon”.
Apologies for sending everyone’s feedreaders haywire.
